Godzilla vs. Hedorah: The Smog Monster

“Godzilla once saved the world from a MONSTER made of pure pollution.” In 1971’s “Godzilla

vs. Hedorah,” the villain Hedorah—also known as the Smog Monster—was created from toxic waste

and industrial pollution. The film was meant to warn audiences about the rising environmental crisis

in Japan. It was so dark and surreal that the director was never invited back for

a sequel. Still, the movie stands as one of the most unique and important

warnings in Godzilla’s history. Comment “SMOG MONSTER” if pollution Godzilla facts blew your

mind!
